0442 Canonization

Liu Dahai also prepared fishing rods and other things on the boat for them to fish in their spare time, which added a lot of fun. The most important thing is that Liu Dahai prepared two sea boats, so Wang Wencheng and Wu Gonggong each had a boat, and they couldn't see each other, and the two provinces hated each other.

After more than ten days at sea, he finally arrived on the main island of the Ryukyus. At this time, Wang Wencheng and the two of them were transferred to the same ship. After all, he is an envoy of the country, and he can't let people get stuck in jokes. What's more, both of them have the idea of having money in their hands, and it would be bad if they didn't show up and be swallowed by another person!

The sea boat approached the pier, and Wang Wencheng and Wu Gonggong at the bow saw that the shore was crowded with dense crowds. Wang Wencheng couldn't help but say: "It seems that the people in this foreign land also yearn for the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Liu Dahai said: "Most of the people of Ryukyu are descendants of my people in China, so they are naturally oriented to the Ming Dynasty!" ”

The fifth father-in-law also chimed in: "That's true. When Emperor Taizu was in his time, he sent many people to Ryukyu. ”

While the three of them were gossiping, the ship was already approaching the dock. As soon as the side of the ship hit the trestle, the pier immediately made a noise of gongs and drums and firecrackers! Even the people raised their voices to express their welcome to the angels.

Wang Wencheng and the others got off the boat, and Liu Pei wore a brand-new robe and led Fang Degang and others to greet them. However, Liu Pei still has that huge goggles on his face, and he has a fake beard on his face very funny! However, Liu Pei is healthy and strong, and this beard matches his body shape better, looking like a fierce general.

The reason is that Liu Pei really doesn't want to reveal his identity. After all, he is still the Jiaozhou garrison of Daming. If his identity is revealed, Da Ming will send troops against him no matter what. After all, it is definitely not a good idea for you to enter the territory of another country to serve as a martial artist! Must be divided by two soon!

After Wang Wencheng and Wu Gonggong approached, they both carefully looked at Liu Pei's red goggles. Fortunately, Liu Dahai mentioned it to them all when he was on the road, saying that Liu Pei had eye disease since he was a child. So the two were not surprised.

Liu Pei stepped forward and bowed and said, "The two angels have descended, and Ryukyu is very honored. Dare to ask Your Majesty if he is in good health? ”

Wang Wencheng straightened up and said, "Holy bow is healthy." ”

Liu Pei bowed down again and said: "The joy of the world, the joy of all the people." ”

After a ceremonial answer, Liu Pei straightened up. It's part of the etiquette. After Liu Pei greeted the monarch of the Ming Dynasty, the angel also replied on behalf of the emperor. At this time, Wang Wencheng's identity was directly representing the emperor, so he could accept Liu Pei's salute without returning the salute.

But by the time the question and answer was over, the situation was reversed. Liu Pei stood up straight, and Wang Wencheng bowed and said, "Wailang Wang, a member of the Ministry of Rites."

Wen Cheng has seen the king. ”

Liu Pei smiled and stretched out her hand to hold up Wang Wencheng and said, "Lord Wang has worked hard all the way!" Although the Ryukyus are small and sparsely populated, there are also several places with considerable scenery. A few adults have completed their errands, and the rest of the time can be enjoyed in the Ryukyus for a few days! ”

Wang Wencheng stood up straight and said, "In this way, it will be up to the king's arrangement." ”

said that Wang Wencheng introduced Liu Pei to all the people of the mission. All the qualified people saluted Liu Pei one by one, and Liu Pei returned the salute one by one with a smile. Then Liu Pei introduced the people behind him to everyone. However, everyone is using a pseudonym.

That night, Liu Pei hosted a banquet to entertain the mission. After the wine was hot, Liu Pei left. Liu Dahai, under Liu Pei's instructions, quietly gave everyone a gift list, and said that the gifts had been placed in the room where everyone was resting, and they could be seen when they went back.

Wang Wencheng jumped when he saw the gift list! The contents are estimated to be as many as 1,000 taels plus silver taels! This is completely more than the normal amount. Wang Wencheng took the time to ask, "Lord Liu, this gift seems to be a little more valuable, right?" ”

Liu Dahai said with a smile: "Don't worry, this matter was arranged by the king of my family." The king of my family thought that the angel of the kingdom would take it once, and he would always take a turn around the islands of the Ryukyus, take a look, and by the way, declare the majesty of the kingdom! But I'm afraid that it will delay Lord Wang's time, so I will make up for it a little! ”

Wang Wencheng immediately understood that this was because Liu Pei had an unstable foundation in Ryukyu at this time, and wanted them to cruise around the Ryukyus. Well, then the majesty of the Ming Dynasty shocked the underneath. At that moment, Wang Wencheng immediately put his mind at ease and agreed. Others also came to think that Wang Wencheng asked why the gifts were so generous, and Wang Wencheng answered them one by one. And they went on with contentment.

Three days later, Liu Dahai came to greet them and said, "Two angels, the altar has been prepared. It is better to invite the two angels to take the stage and read the edict of the kingdom. What do you think of it? ”

Wang Wencheng and the two naturally nodded in agreement. So everyone turned Liu Pei and went straight to the altar not far away. Liu Pei had a high altar built out of wood outside the unfinished palace so that the people of Ryukyu could watch the proclamation. At this time, the people of the Ryukyus surrounding the altar were already three layers inside and three layers outside, and I don't know how many people there were! It's all up to the family to deal with it. The scene is boisterous!

When the people approached the altar, the drums of war sounded. The rumbling drums silenced the noise of the people. As soon as the drum stopped, the heavens and the earth were silent. Everyone knows it's time to pronounce the decree!

Wang Wencheng and Wu Gonggong straightened their bodies with serious expressions and slowly walked onto the high platform. It was followed by a team of Han generals and four eunuchs, carrying a large wooden box.

After ascending the high platform, Wang Wencheng shouted: "There is a holy decree!" ”

The four eunuchs opened the large wooden box, and the fifth princess personally took it from inside

Make a small gold-painted chest. After opening it, he took out a bright yellow silk scroll from inside, and raised his hands high to show it around. Then he bowed down and handed it to Wang Wencheng. Wang Wencheng also took the holy decree with both hands and raised it high again. Then he took off his robe and walked behind the incense table that had been placed on the high platform.

When all the members of the mission saw that Wang Wencheng was in a good position, they also began to stand in accordance with their own positions. The five princes stood beside Wang Wencheng, the four eunuchs stood behind Wang Wencheng in a line, the Han general stood majestically on both sides of the incense case, and Liu Pei led the other teams in the forefront of the incense case according to their rank. For a while, the atmosphere was very solemn!

When Wang Wencheng saw that everyone was standing, he shouted loudly: "Your Majesty has a will, and everyone kneels to greet him." ”

The civil officials and generals on the high platform knelt down one after another after hearing this. When the people saw them kneeling, they also knelt down in fear. Just when Liu Pei was about to kneel, Wang Wencheng said: "Your Majesty's will, the status of the King of Ryukyu is precious, and he only needs to bow down when he is edicted." ”

It's part of the whole liturgy. Although in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, Ryukyu was a foreign land, but the lords of these foreign domains were also kings after all. If you kneel down easily, you will lose face and will not be conducive to the stability of the country. So under normal circumstances, if the Ming Emperor has a holy decree, basically these kings can bow down and receive the holy decree. However, it must be made to kneel and greet him, and then the angel will stop it and pass on His Majesty's will to avoid kneeling.

At this time, in the entire heaven and earth, except for the envoy from the Ming Dynasty who bowed to the incense case, only Liu Pei was standing, and the rest of the people knelt down and waited to listen to the holy decree.

Wang Wencheng is full of ambition at the moment! He slowly opened the decree and read it aloud: "There is a country in the East China Sea, called the Ryukyu ......."

There was also a group of strong men under the high platform, who were specially responsible for spreading the word, and shouted out the words of the messenger word by word, so that all the people could hear it.

The decree devotes a long time to recalling the long historical relationship and deep friendship between the Ryukyus and the Ming Dynasty. mourned the misfortune of the death of King Shangfeng's family, and affirmed Liu Pei's identity. In the end, Liu Pei was officially canonized as the lord of the Ryukyu Kingdom and a vassal of the Ming Dynasty.

After the promotion was announced, Liu Pei immediately said loudly: "Little Wang Liu Pei thanks Your Majesty for your grace!" I, Ryukyu, from top to bottom, will always be loyal to Your Majesty! Loyal to the Ming Dynasty! ”

After Liu Pei finished speaking, he bowed down and took the holy decree with both hands, and turned to show it to the people. The people in the audience immediately cheered loudly! At the same time, drums and firecrackers were played. The entire square was filled with an atmosphere of jubilation.

At this time, a guard came over with a tray, Liu Pei put the holy decree on the tray and put it away, turned to Wang Wencheng and the others and said, "Everyone, you have worked hard today!" Today's sales are ready for a wine banquet, and you must not get drunk later! ”
